I enjoy Somerset Maugham’s stories but had not read this one. I actually sought it out because I’m planning to read The House of Doors by Tan Twang Eng, and apparently the novel relates in some way to the story. But the story is well worth reading on its own merits. Great writing, depth of character, a sense of place and time. Of its time though so be aware of that. (Just realised it’s 101 years old: seems more than that in some ways!)
